Video is a powerful medium to showcase who you are and why you do it. After all, you are more than a two-page CV; much more than an application form. You are a real person with real value to add.

In this course, I am going to teach you how to make a fantastic video CV.

Video CVs are becoming more and more popular in the recruitment process. Lots of employers and recruiters are asking for you to submit a video. Still a lot are not asking, but that does not mean you shouldn’t do one. I want you to showcase who you are, and video is a wonderful way to do that.

You are more than two pieces of paper, you are more than a CV, or an application form. You are a human being with real value to add, there’s a real character in there. If you want people to fall in love with you, to choose you over the other 20 people that are sitting in reception waiting for that interview, who maybe have 10 years’ more experience than you, use bigger words, dress better, know people in HR that you don’t know, you need to use your competitive edge – you. We want them to see exactly who you are and video is a wonderful way to do that.

In this course I am going to teach you how to:

Master the set up of equipment; from background and lighting, to selecting that perfect camera angle

Apply the art of storytelling; projecting what you are going to do for the employer

Ensure your content is right for your chosen industry

Relax and be confident if you are camera shy

Create a high-end video CV that’s going to get you noticed.

Very concrete, a lot of useful, practical information about the content and the setup of the video cv. Energetic and easy to understand for me, - I am not a native English speaker. It was really worth the investment:)
